We as a race of Caucasians didn't treat the native americans very well either, we killed and slaughtered millions of them to expand the country, Andrew Jackson isn't the only one to hurt them, if there is one race I hold much respect for it is our Native Americans, we were barbarians during that time. They were here before us but we made sure we got rid of them to whatever degree we needed to conquer the west. Don't just hammer down on Jackson.

Thank you for responding to this as it gives me, yet again, a terrific opportunity to point out what a complete asshole Jackson was. He went way beyond "following orders" or fighting Injuns, Jackson murdered women and Children....THOUSANDS OF THEM. He went for above and beyond what was acceptable even in the mid 1800's. His methods were underhanded and inhumane; he was the Atila the Hun of early America.

"Luck?" Money brings "luck?" That's the stupid argument you're going with? I could validly say that putting the face of Jim Varney on the $20 bill would bring as much (or more) luck than that of Andrew Jackson.

And what "sacrifice" are you talking about? Jackson was dead long before 1928, when he first appeared on the $20 bill, and he never gave any indication that he wanted to be honored (or more likely, insulted) as such.

You must really hate Andrew Jackson, if you're willing to pervert his deeply held ideals for something as silly as "luck."

The smiley face indicated the obvious fact that I was joking about the "good luck". Andy must be pissed at me because good luck charms are associated with the occult.

Whether or not he would find it offensive to be on a 20$ , I simply don't know. It's a possibility.

The point I was making is that Destiny greatly favored him. Could someone please give me examples of other seemingly miraculous happenings following an influential American figure that I might give them the same honor ?

Jackson was also a British killer. He fought people he felt were a threat to the states he Governed and many Natives allied themselves with the British who had not long before burned down Washington DC.

Americans were exhausted, had just been invaded, not respected by Europeans, their ships were being siezed and sailors made slaves, and so in desperation were trying to remove all that seemed to be a threat.

I'm not saying it was good , but it was simply what nations did back then.

I will have to do some researching then, I've seen some on this man, and if what you say is true I need to learn about it all, will certainly look deeper into Mr. Jackson. I hope you aren't excusing us for slaughtering injuns just because we were following orders, I'm sure women and children were casualties then too, and not all our soldiers then followed orders, there were rogues who didn't give a crap about orders.

Let's reflect on how good can come forth from something cruel like the Mexican War. People in Mexico are fleeing from their corrupt government to have a better life here.

Those states would be more miserable to live in were they still under that government, and people would be fleeing them as well.

Now, another thing is when you call Andrew Jackson an Indian killer , take into account that many of the Indians were also Indian killers .

Indians were not united and many tribes hated each other and were butchering each other before white people ever showed up.

Hence, Native American treatment of other Natives was also inhumane. I'm not being racist , just stating a fact for the sake of balance.

What white people have done is absolutely terrible and inhumane , and I am very sad to read that s***. Yet if you look at the nations nowadays where people are treated most inhumanely, it is in countries that are predominantly not white .

The Battle of New Orleans was a total FAIL, the war was already over and a Treaty had been signed.

To be fair the combatants in New Orleans did not know it at the time the battle was fought.
Ot took tome for news to travel back then, the news of the treaty had not yet reached Jackson or the British commander.

There were no miraculous happenings. Jackson died, and someone in the Treasury decided to put his face on the $20 bill. That's not a miracle. But if you seriously care about Jackson and what he stood for, you'd respect his position with regard to the Federal Reserve Bank, and honor what would assuredly have been his final request to NOT be made a figurehead representing the Federal Reserve Bank.

You are using faulty logic, Indians as a people killed, but even they did not kill women and children. I have to laugh at your "but, they did it too" response to every bad thing that ever happened in life. Eventually, you have to do a little bit of navel gazing and say, "wow, this is so fucked up." You seem incapable of holding your hero's to any kind of higher standard.

We must not disrespect Saint Andrew Jackson, for He also was an annointed man, full of miracles:
7th President

He fought the Battle of New Orleans with untrained Plowman against the most well equipped and trained and powerful military on Earth at the time. He won the battle with up to 3,000 British casualties and only eight Americans died.

Not a miracle unless you think cotton bales are miraculous.

Jackson ignored the Supreme Court when it got in the way of his policy of ethnic cleansing.
